Kalyug (2005)

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Admirable film.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Bhatt films are known for their skin but many times they do have good stories which may not be original but yet must admit they are at times good films like Gangster. Kalyug which released alongwith the trash by YRF Neal N Nikki and EK AJNABEE which did average business, Kalyug performed better but not much as expected. The film is set in the porn industry and the main story does seem real especially the problems in Kunal's life. The film starts off as a routine love story with songs but changes geers effectively, the shocking twist is well handled, Kunal's search for justice may seem filmy and hard to digest but it's well handled. Amrita Singh's scenes are well handled too.Emraan's character may seem filmy but it does seem vital in the plot. The way Kunal goes about in Zurich may not seem real enough but yet for the vendetta it seems well handled, however Ashutosh Rana's profile does seem inconsistent. The pre-climax is well handled and also the climax.Direction by Mohit Suri is good Music is decent, Jiya Dhadak is seeped in melody and made Rahat Fateh Ali Khan a noticeable face after Paap, Jhuda Hoke is a nice number though copied from Jal with rights unlike Chocolate.Kunal Khemmu seen as a child artist and known for his performances in Zakhm is superb in his main role, his expressions, dialogue delivery and everything is topnotch though he did look a bit too skinny for his debut yet a great performance for a debut. Smilie Suri is okay, Deepal Shawl is raw but leaves a mark Emraan Hashmi does a good supporting act, Amrita Singh made an effective comeback though at times she does ham it up Ashutosh Rana has an ill defined role but does a good job Rest are okay.

Well this is 1 hell of a ride. Love the dark cinematography, Gothic setting n style of sin city...Amazing backdrop of Switzerland, could have added more scenes there though, since the film was so short, barely 2 hrs.Minuses include the money logic of how Kunal landed with that much money to do all he did. And of course, this film follows the commercial bollywood route of a masala potbolier with few distinct villains to fight when pornography as a whole has many many operatives.So its basically a fictional account of a site called indiapassion.com and its widespread.Good entertainment, thought-provoking and more films like this should be made to create awareness and reach out to the public via its commercial elements. The kissing scenes of the first night scene could have been avoided though.

A good film which brings out the real issues in the real world. It incorporates situations that occur in every day life, which can affect a persons reputation and character in a negative way.personally I have heard and witnessed several mobile phone video clips which are personal to the individual exploited and published without the consent of the people in the video or who made it.People who run these porn sites should not be doing these kind of things and this film shows, how greatly it can affects a persons life......even to the extent of committing suicide or even taking an oath of vengeance.Overall, a good film which people in the real world and this generation can relate to. i.e. modern technology is getting more advanced as we speak. Cameras can be hidden in any everyday devices.Beaware people.

Well, Kalyug is definitely a hard hitting subject which has been dealt with a decent direction , but not really exciting direction. The star cast is decent with Kunal showing some good potential, amrita Singh in a good negative character of the porn queen who wants to be numero uno in porn industry replacing Hustler and Playboy. But the lady shows more of hungry and lust full character with a weird sense of business. Hmm , this really doesn't show much talent of the director . deepal shaw is good till the moment she is exposing herself and is keeping quiet. The other actress , if I am not wrong her name is similie is good looking , may be she can get work in another few movies. A surprise package is apna desi porn star Imraan Hashmi , who looks at least better than his previous sex flicks and extra marital saga as he doesn't get a chance to lock lips with any of the ladies in this film and try some piece of acting. The songs are really the pull factor of movie as one doesn't want to leave chair while the songs are being played on. Songs are in fact , the strongest point of any movie from bhatt camp. Overall, the movie can be watched in spare time and its not really bad, I mean you can have at least have break even on the ROI (return on investment ).
